My maxusers is set for ...checking... 10 (The default I assume) Yes, I'm running INN from ports. However I dont have any active feeds. I use slurp to get my news once an hour. Matter of fact I'm running: inn, iij-ppp, httpd, httpd-proxy, nfsd, hylafax and all the regular deamons. On top of all that I've got X with fvwm, screen. Oh, on top of all that every evening for 4-5 hours my system runs some pretty intensive time-series analysis and a bunch of non-linear systems analysis and some multi-dimensional clustering algorithms. <<*** BTW, if your curious what the hell I'm doing check out my page at http://oasis.txdirect.net It's up the first 15minutes of each hour and continously from 6pm-Midnight. It's rough right now, so please excuse the mess. ***>> Did I mention I run this in 16Megs with a 48Meg swap? swap hasn't gone over 60-70%, at worst, since I gnumalloc'ed my XServer (S3) I assume your gonna suggest I up maxusers to say 20? Ok, I'll try it. However if you notice my post this system ran fine for 22 days doing the same thing over and over, then on the day I returned (what luck, no?) it started giving me this error which started 5.5 hours before I walked in the door. > > > > > > > How would I avoid this problem in the future? > > > > > > (The second problem that is.
